Rumour: Is the Final Curtain Call Looming for the Great Movie Ride?

So if they're going to gut the place, I call dibs on the hieroglyphics panel in the Indiana Jones scene that contains R2D2.

There are also rumours that it will be added to Disneyland Resort as well.

A disney ride featuring Mickey? Has that happened before? That would be awesome.

Keeping the theater facade is an interesting thought assuming the location might be tied to Toy Story or Star Wars. Perhaps it would be an updated "movie experience" type ride but tied to Disney titles?

Now there is an idea.. How about Jungle Book, Maelifiscent, Herbie, Fantasia, Zorro, Pete's Dragon, Nutty Professor, Mary Poppins, etc. Incorporate some respect to the old and new live action Disney films.

Would be sorry to see this one go. So classic. I know the animatronics are out of date but I enjoy it every time. If anything were to happen, I'd love to see a Wizard of Oz ride and let that scene stay!

Ears to the magical pavement has suggested that the replacement, like mentioned above, would be a Mickey through the Years type of experience/attraction.

As long as it involves animatronics and not just a series of screens, I'm on board.

Dibs on the MP Bert and Mary.

I love TGMR, but ever since the park became not a working movie studio I feel like it's lost something. It always feels like this weird, awkward, rushed experience to me now and so many of the effects don't work it's borderline irksome. And let me tell you ... the fact that after like 25 years they haven't bothered to fix the badly wrinkled landscape behind the John Wayne animatronic steams my cheese every time I see it lol

I'm fine if they want to do something else with it as long as it's great. I always kind of felt just a bit let down by TGMR (like how does Mickey get the lamest scene in the whole attraction??) so something that blows me away ... I'll take it.

if its great..GMR could always be great w updates...

And hello to Mickey.... Seems like this summer may be the last time to get your GMR rides in... Talk is the ride closing in August/September time frame... Possibly having Mickey announced at D23... and the ride itself opening along with Star Wars land...

I didn't want to add this to the rumors thread cause this seems more green lit and a go rather than just internet and fan rumor...

Please.....say it isn't so!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Has this been confirmed by Disney, or is this still a possible rumor of changes to come?

We didn't think anything else would top the proposed changes to CBR, but we were wrong.

So many of our favorites are gone, now this. Hopefully, the outside look of the building will remain intact. Little-by-little, all of those special touches and attractions that made the Studios such a unique place to visit are/will no longer there. It seems that the Studios will soon no longer be a "must-do" park on our future WDW vacations. So sad!!!!!!! :( :( :(
